The location was perfect, very close to buses, restaurants, sites and pubs. The buffet breakfast was very good. Staff were very pleasant and helpful.I asked for a quiet room and got a top floor room (6th fl) which was quite quiet but the view was of the back of buildings. We were out during the day so that didn't matter too much. Overall, a great place.

Great central location that’s very walkable to all the touristy things. However the central location also means it locks the front door by default that someone need to let you in even to check in. Rooms were compact, but it’s clean and the included breakfast is very much appreciated
